Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DLC-036TXAMZ 6-by-6mm Fruit, Vegetable and French Fry Disc, Fits 14-Cup Processor
Customer Review: Less than satisfactory for my needs
Summary: 3 Stars
I use a lot of matchsticks or julienne strips of veggies in my living food recipes, especially for nori rolls, veggie wraps, salads, Thai-style entrees, etc. I was very excited about this Cuisinart 6-by-6mm Fruit, Vegetable and French Fry Disc, fits 14-Cup Processor and quickly purchased it as an extra accessory for my new Cuisinart DLC-2014N PowerPrep Plus 14-Cup Capacity Food Processor, White. Like all the Cuisinart accessories for the 14 cup food processors, it is spendy and was a bit of a strain on my budget but I knew I would put it to frequent use so I considered it a good investment.
I put the disc right to work as soon as I received it, julienning assorted vegetables to fill my nori rolls. Although the disc performed very well for the softer veggies ~ the cucumber and zucchini ~ turning out a really nice, clean, square julienne cut that didn't mush up, the results for the harder carrot and daikon radish were less than satisfactory.
Maybe I haven't gotten the knack of the technique yet and need to practice with the disc a little more but processing the carrots and daikon was very disappointing. The parts of the veggies that actually got cut turned out beautifully but it seemed like my machine had to labor too hard to make the cut, noisily rocking and shaking across the kitchen counter-top. Furthermore a lot of the veggies got jammed in the holes causing a sizable portion of the remaining veggie not to be able to pass through the blade, leaving a lot of large, frayed and mangled chunks. I chopped up the rejected pieces so I had no waste but still I was very disappointed with the overall performance.
Based on the other reviewers' favorable comments about using the disc for shoestring cuts for potatoes, I'm not going to give up on it yet but still I'm wondering if I can really recommend it, therefore I must give it the ambivalent 3 stars.

The raised shelf behind the cutting blade prevents slices from colliding with the disc itself, providing perfect, uniform strips every time. The disc slots easily onto the detachable disc stem, but be sure to handle it carefully, as these blades are very sharp. --Jennifer Harris
